Development
Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi was officially announced on April 27, 2022, as part of a schedule of panels for the upcoming Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022 convention. A panel about Tales of the Jedi was held on May 28, the third day of the convention, hosted by Amy Ratcliffe with Dave Filoni as a special guest.[1] The existence of the series was first leaked in December 2021 through a logo included on a Lucasfilm employee Christmas gift, images of which were released on the Internet.[9] It was later hinted at by Kevin Kiner, who worked on the music for Tales of the Jedi, and described it as an upcoming animated project that they couldn't talk about.[10] The show shares its name with Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, a comic book maxiseries in the Star Wars Legends continuity[11] published by Dark Horse Comics between the years 1993[12] and 1998.[13] A trailer was released at D23.[4]
